Brian, My world is forever changed with you no longer here in body. When I am sad I hear you telling me "Mom, I'm okay!". And when I say or do something silly, I hear you laughing at me, and that's okay! My heart will always have a hole in it as I miss seeing you and talking to you. You were always there for me and I cherished our closeness. I thank God and am grateful that I had you for 45 years even though I never expected you to go home before me. Your family and I miss you and love you dearly. Mom

I think you everyday, I miss you every second. Prayers for all of his family, I know how much he loved y'all. Tampa, Cozumel, Gamecock games, Kickin Chicken none will be the same without you.

We will all truly miss Brian. I will always remember the years we played baseball, messing around filming stupid stuff with his video camera, and hanging out with Brian, Jeff, Donnie, David, and Bill. Being roommates with Brian and Jeff were some of the funniest times of my life and I will always cherish those memories. It will be hard to watch a boxing or wrestling match without thinking about Brian. I miss you man!

During the summer of 1980 I had the privilege of being Brian's baseball coach at St. Andrews Playground. With his steady play at third base and his consistent hitting he helped lead our team Wappoo Oil to the Small Fry Championship. I'll never forget how as our cleanup hitter Brian would step up to the plate, pound on it hard a few times with his bat, and then try to intimidate the pitcher with a ferocious glare. He was the best hitter on the best team in the league. We called him Super Cooper. Brian was selected to play on the St. Andrews National All-Star Team. He played a big part in us winning the James Island Optimist Tournament Championship. It was a summer full of great accomplishments. But I remember Brian giving us much more than trophies and championships that season. There is the joy that we still have to this day from time spent with Brian that summer. So much fun, laughter, and great memories. And of course that smile of his that we will forever remember.

Dear Janet, Patti, Mrs. Cooper, Gloria . I know it has been a very long time since I have seen you all. However, your family helped shape me into who I am.
I remember Brian as a beautiful little blonde headed boy that was full of life.
Please accept my sympathy. Losing him at such a young age has got to be shocking and devastating at the same time. May God bless you & keep you in his hands. BJ Rodgers (Betty McCaskill)

To the Cooper Family,
I am very saddened to hear about the loss of Brian. He was a good friend to many. I will always remember the good times we had growing up as teenagers, playing baseball, working at the ice plant, and being roommates. He was very social, always had a smile and loved to laugh. I remember the many times I spent with Brian and the Cooper family during holidays. Your family was always good to me and I considered you all my second family as well. God bless you all through these tuff times. Brian will be missed by many.
